Worship Service: Informal Family - September 15, 2019
The natural world can be very frustrating when we focus on the limits it places on our lives. These limits are part of the Lord’s plan of providing us a place to make choices. These choices, large and small, are an opportunity to further define what we make most important. These choices lead to consequences, some happy and others far from it, in this world and the next. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallInnocence is Bliss
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 15, 2019
There is a certain magic in holding a little baby. Their innocence brings a sense of contented peace. But what does it mean to be innocent really? It doesn’t mean being naive. It doesn’t mean being ignorant. But it doesn’t mean being perfect either. Can we keep our innocence as we grow? Should we? This Sunday we’ll explore what Jesus Christ tells us about innocence and what we need to do to live a life led by the Lord. - By Richard Glenn | By Rev.

Our slow spiritual growth. "I will not dive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land." (Exodus 23:29-30) | By Rev. Erik J.

We want to feel safe, to feel the Lord’s presence and peace. But in daily life that can seem pretty impossible. What can we do to experience more peace and safety? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallLife is Hard, Part 1, How Do We Cope
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 08, 2019
There are a lot of hard aspects of life in this natural world—in our personal lives and also in the world around us. What do we do with it all? How do we cope? Is it better to try to ignore the hard stuff? If we don’t ignore the hard stuff, how do we keep from being flattened by it? This Sunday we’re going to try to learn from He who has “borne our griefs and carried our sorrows,” about how we can cope with life in this hard world. | By Rev. Malcolm G.

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it." And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place!

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 01, 2019
This week we continue to explore the Teachings of the New Church and what they can mean for us. One of the more unusual aspects of these works is the descriptions of conversations with spirits and angels and the surroundings in which they took place. Swedenborg did not just share ideas, but also the things that the Lord allowed him to see, hear, and feel. Although unusual, what can these experiences teach us about heavenly life that mere ideas could not? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAFinding Safety

Worship Service: Informal Family - August 25, 2019
Last week we focused on doing useful physical tasks that support our worship community. This Sunday, as we take service to a higher level, we will be looking for ways to serve each other's SPIRITUAL needs. We all need to be USEFUL, to LEARN and grow, to have COMMUNITY, HOPE, spiritual HEALING, and FREEDOM. These are ways of serving the six different kinds of spiritual neighbors that the Lord mentions in Matthew 25. We will be looking at how these show up in Isaiah 58. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallA New Name
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 25, 2019
We get to witness two baptisms as part of the service this Sunday. When someone gets baptised we talk about them being baptised in the Lord’s name. There’s a lot that’s contained in that simple idea. This Sunday we’ll talk about what it means to take on the name of being a Christian and how we can find a new sense of identity in the Lord. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
